Chapter 527: Target: Southeast Asia
Don't be so irritable, Chinese New Year's Eve, be happy, come, eat some dumplings, don't say, Singapore's dumplings with three fresh fillings are really good, shrimp are more than Huancheng and Xiping!"
Zhuang Jianye took the document in his hand, did not look at it, but threw it on the sofa next to him, and then put a plate of dumplings with three fresh fillings in front of him in front of Lin Guanghua, and then handed over a spoon and pointed to the Buddha jumping over the wall in front of him: "Try this again, it's no worse than the meal of Buddha jumping over the wall last time I was on a business trip in Fujian Province." ”
Lin Guanghua was stunned for a long time holding the spoon, until Zhuang Jianye started to eat the Spring Festival Gala on the radio again, humming and humming, then he reacted, and hurriedly reached out to block Zhuang Jianye's chopsticks that were about to continue to hold dumplings, and looked at Zhuang Jianye with a puzzled expression: "I said Lao Zhuang, the fire is burning your eyebrows, can you still eat it?"
Zhuang Jianye was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed to the document lying on the sofa: "That's it?"
"So what do you think?"
Zhuang Jianye smiled: "If you want me to say, you should listen to me, experience the evil capitalist life in Singapore with a critical attitude, and leave the rest to the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries, and the rest, we just need to take the money." ”
"Your old Zhuang is used to being the shopkeeper, I can't do it, you don't see it, the Thai people are called stupid in the assembly plant, our technicians have handed over more than a dozen times, and they can't even get the rivets firmly, and they can't figure out such a small thing with a nail cover, and expect them to do this kind of big thing, and your old Zhuang doesn't care, I don't worry. ”
Lin Guanghua glanced at Zhuang Jian without a good voice, and what he said was justified, but when he finished saying this, his gloomy face, which was originally unsmiling, was suddenly covered with an indescribable layer of loss, and then sighed, picked up the wine glass that Zhuang Jianye had just filled on the side, and drank the Fenjiu brought from China with a tilt of his neck, and his white cheeks were immediately dyed a touch of crimson:" Of course, putting these aside, I also want to fight, we are engaged in the aircraft, all the core technology is in our own hands, and the cooperation with Thailand to set up a factory, at best, is a low-level assembly plant, but it can create hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign exchange for the country every year.
Why am I not patriotic?ah~~Lao Zhuang!I Lin Guanghua has been a party member for ten years, a cadre of state-owned enterprises, how can I be sorry for the country, ah~~~"
Lin Guanghua became more and more excited the more he spoke, so that his already red face became ripe red and red like a boiled crab, not drunk from drinking, but stimulated by a bad mood.
In fact, this matter is not complicated, mainly about the sales of Plateau Eagle Pro.
If it were another country, Zhuang Jianye might honestly complete four Y-6U, 24 Peregrine Falcon-1 rotorcraft and 86 Attack-1 UAVs, and forget it, and the contract with a total value of $508 million would be fine.
But it was Thailand that came to the door.
This makes Zhuang Jianye have to re-examine the value of this contract, whether it is to perform honestly, or to use it as a springboard to use Thailand as a favorable opportunity for Ascendas Group to enter the international aviation market?
The obvious answer is, of course, the latter.
The reason for this is very simple, in addition to tourist attractions, island food, and people~~~ bewitching women, Thailand is also a famous regional aviation hub in Southeast Asia.
Because of this, there are 32 major airports in Thailand alone, and hundreds of other small airports, knowing that Thailand's land area is not as large as Sichuan Province, but the airport penetration rate is far greater than that of Sichuan Province.
With more than 10 airline operating companies and a well-developed tourism industry, Thailand's air transportation, especially short-distance feeder transportation, is quite developed.
Not only can it cover the whole of Thailand, but even the whole of Southeast Asia, Thailand's aviation operating companies occupy half of the country.
No other, just because Southeast Asian countries are distributed on various islands, the effectiveness of the boat is too slow, so the market for air regional transportation here is very large, especially the middle class and above, is a loyal fan of inter-island regional air transportation.
Since there is a market, it will naturally give birth to related industries, so as to better occupy this market and make a lot of money.
As a result, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and even the Philippines have made efforts in this regard, and as a result, Indonesia has taken the lead in making a breakthrough and completed the initial construction of the aviation industry by virtue of its cooperation with Spain in the production of NC-235 light transport aircraft.
Seeing this, other countries are talking nonsense if they are not greedy, but there is no way, the aviation industry is different from other manufacturing industries, and what is needed is all aspects, not just money.
Don't look at the domestic production of J-6, J-7 is a big difference with similar fighters in the world, but this ability to independently produce aircraft is a great existence in the eyes of Southeast Asian countries, you must know that even if it is backward, they can't build it even if they want to.
Zhuang Jianye saw the vast regional passenger aircraft market in Southeast Asia, as well as the reality of Thailand's own aviation industry zero foundation, when Thai Lieutenant General Alondo visited China for the third time in December last year and visited the Tengfei Group, he proposed that the Tengfei Group could contribute technology and equipment, and the Thai side would contribute funds and personnel to establish an aircraft assembly production line in Thailand, and jointly develop a new generation of small passenger and cargo transport general aircraft, that is, the Plateau Eagle Pro as an advanced light transport platform verification machine.
Originally, after Thailand had ordered this batch of China's aviation equipment, it had no other plans to expand its procurement, but what did you hear? The Tengfei Group is willing to contribute technology and equipment, not only to help Thailand build an aircraft assembly line, but also to jointly develop a new generation of small passenger and cargo transport general aircraft.
This moment instantly got the sensitive point in the heart of the Thai decision-makers.
Even the Philippines wants to make a difference in the aviation industry, but how can Thailand, one of the great powers in Southeast Asia, not have this ambition?
It is important to know that due to the combined influence of geopolitics and business decisions, the aviation operation market in Southeast Asia is not only a little high, but also chaotic.
On the one hand, this is because Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus are competing for the more profitable large passenger aircraft market.
Bombardier and other second-tier aviation manufacturers have focused on high-end business jets, and the target group is the super-rich, whose purpose is similar to that of luxury, and they are only expensive and do not do it right.
Although the remaining small households have the intention to enter, their overall strength is not strong, and the Soviet Union has not long come to stir and stir, which has made the market even more chaotic.
But it is precisely because of this that Southeast Asian countries have seen an opportunity to develop their own aviation industries, and Indonesia has really made a name for itself in this chaotic situation.
Other Southeast Asian countries don't look greedy, others don't know, anyway, Thailand's gluttonous saliva is almost over the surface of the feet.
However, in addition to drooling, Thailand can only drool, there is no way to be too different in the aviation industry ~~~ state, I don't have that technology, and the high cost of joint ventures with Western developed countries is scary, the Soviet Union is generous, but look at the Soviet figure behind the Vietnamese army, Thailand does not dare to let this master in.
So although greedy, it was also endured, until the cooperation plan proposed by Zhuang Jianye of Tengfei Group, Thailand saw the light again.
